Mathematically created line

If a person wanted to create a line using a mathematical algorithm via the JavaScript API, how would that go? I'm thinking it would be hard, because it would not necessarily be a simple array of points run through the function, but would also have to be converted to a F360's line with handles and curves. Is there an elegant way to do this? I'm thinking of recreating the grooves in a project like [this].

Mathemattically, a line is a straight segment between two points.  I think what you want is a curve.  You can create a spline through a series of points.  This is demonstrated in the sample in Fusion's help.  Here's a direct link:
